Glute Stretches

 Glute Stretches

Your glute muscles are critical to your every day life!  They support hip rotation, walking, running and tackling stairs.  Your glute muscles are also connected to many other muscles - so tightness in the glutes can manifest in tightness or pain in your in your leg, back, hip and pelvic regions.  

Take on stretching out your glutes regularly with the Pigeon Pose - which works out your gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, hips and your piriformis (there is nothing worse than a tight piriformis ... watch for it in an upcoming Muscle Monday).

Start from a downward dog position, bend left leg and drop knee to left. 

Next, extend right leg behind you. 

Press right hip towards the mat. Inhale, then exhale as you walk your palms as far forward as is comfortable. It’s very important to keep your hips squared away in this pose. 

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds, then repeat on the right leg.
